Abby and Ben

This is a shoot from yesterday afternoon. Abigail and Benjamin
are six month old twins. For the first 30 minutes or so,
they were content and in to having their pictures taken.
Then Ben got tired and Abby got hungry. So our session
ran a bit short, but we got the following adorable shots while
we could.

Nadia and Will in Utica, New York!

A week ago, I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding in Utica, NewYork which is in upstate New York. Nadia and Will are from Arizona, but wanted to get married in New York. Utica had some cold rainy weather while we were there. Before the ceremony, we were able to go outside for some photos, but we froze our butts off doing it. During the ceremony, it started to pour outside along with heavy winds. So we weren't able to go outside after the ceremony. But regardless, we got some amazing photos. The camera loves Nadia. Will however doesn't like having his picture taken, but he looked dapper in front of the camera. It was a long journey, but Ana (my second shooter) and I loved every minute of it! Congratulations to Nadia and Will!

New York, here we come!

A week ago, I left for New York. I had a wedding in Utica,
which is upstate New York. My friend and fellow photographer,
Ana, accompanied me as my second shooter. The wedding
day was rained out about half way through, but the interior
of the hotel was beautiful. Then we travelled to New York
City and stayed there for 2 nights. We had a room with a great
view. We took advantage of the double decker tour bus
to see all of downtown, plus So Ho, Chinatown, Wall Street,
and much much more. It was a trip of a lifetime (my first
time to New York)!

The New York wedding photos will be on the blog in a few days or so.

Al and Aggie are getting married on November 28th right after Thanksgiving. They met online, and have been inseparable ever since they met in person. Their wedding is in Payson, where they live part of the time. They also live part of the time in Mesa, which is where this engagement shoot took place. They have 4 horses, and we included two of them on part of the shoot, which was a blast! The sunset was amazing that evening, throwing off beautiful oranges and reds. No wonder Arizona is known for its sunsets!

Sarah and Eric

Yesterday was Sarah and Eric's wedding. Their wedding ceremony and reception were both at a friend's amazing home in Troon Village (North Scottsdale). The ceremony was at sunset, but we ended up with about 5 minutes to shoot the bride and groom together with the sunsetting. We were extremely pressed for time, but it somehow all worked out great. They were both so nice to work with, and their families too. I had so much fun and was so excited about the images, that I worked some of them already! Here are some of my favorites from the day...
